The day started with the usual farm routine: distributing hay and checking on the animals 🌾. After that we continued with cleaning the stables and organizing the work areas.

After the break I helped move large hay bales again. It was surprisingly exhausting, but also kind of satisfying once everything was in the right place πŸ’ͺ.

During the day I also got to know Emelie, a volunteer from Austria. We got along really well immediately and spent some time talking and playing cards in the evening πŸƒβœ¨.

The morning followed the usual rhythm: hay, cleaning, and checking the animals 🌾. After that I went to the field to remove some weeds that had grown along the fence line 🌿.

Later we checked the electric fence to make sure everything was working properly ⚑. Safety is important when you have so many animals around.

During the break I went for a walk with Emelie and two dogs, Lucas and Samantha πŸ•. In the evening I played a bit of guitar and enjoyed a calm moment after a busy day πŸŽΈπŸŒ™.

Today was my day off, so I used the time to clean my room and organize a few things 🧼. After a few busy days it felt really good to bring everything back into order.

Later I relaxed for a while, enjoyed some food, and simply took time to recharge 😌.

Justine and I decided to visit Dublin again and started the day with a trip to the Botanic Garden 🌸. The place was beautiful and full of interesting plants.

I took lots of photos and even saw some curious squirrels running around 🐿️. One of them came surprisingly close and touched me with its nose.

Later we wanted to visit the prison museum, but unfortunately all tickets were sold out. Instead we grabbed some food and walked through the city before heading back to the farm πŸ™οΈ.

The workday began like usual with feeding hay and cleaning the stables 🌾. Everything was going smoothly until a very special farm resident appeared.

Lanzelot, the most dangerous goat on the farm, was walking around the area 🐐. Everyone warned me about him, so we had to keep an eye on where he was the whole day.

In the evening I went for a walk with Daisy. Suddenly Lanzelot appeared in the hay and scared me a little because I hadn’t seen him before πŸ˜….

Another normal workday on the farm: hay, cleaning, and taking care of the animals 🧹. But later something unexpected happened.

Claire had cleaned the kitchen earlier and jokingly said that if it was messy again later, she would cook a big family dinner for everyone.

And of course… the kitchen was messy again πŸ˜„. Claire cooked an amazing meal for all of us. The food was delicious, and we even took a big group photo afterwards πŸ“Έβ€οΈ.

The day itself was pretty calm and followed the usual routine on the farm 🌾. After work I went for a walk with Emelie, Elena, and three dogs: Kerri, Jey Jey, and Daisy πŸ•.

It was already dark when we crossed a field, and suddenly I realized that my phone was missing 😩.

I ran back to get my watch with a flashlight and started searching. Luckily Elena helped me, and after about five minutes we found the phone again πŸ“±πŸ™. I was incredibly relieved
